They said it: KSL on Utah Lake’s “impressively beautiful” comeback

We’ve already said our piece on the subject. Now let KSL, the largest news organization in the state of Utah, tell their’s:

“I’ve had some amazing fishing days at Utah Lake. One summer afternoon, I caught a 21-pound channel catfish off the jetty at the Provo marina. It put up an incredibly intense fight and was one of the most thrilling fish I’ve ever landed.

“Just last weekend, my wife and I returned to the marina with friends to see if we could hook into another monster whiskerfish. While we didn’t have a single strike, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water. My wife, a Washington native raised near the pristine shores of Lake Sammamish, even called Utah Lake “beautiful.”

“I have to agree with her — Utah Lake can be heavenly. It’s been exciting to watch the lake rebound over the years. There hasn’t been sewage dumped into it since the 1960s — “Sewage- free since ’63!” — and aggressive efforts to improve the water quality have yielded impressive results.”

  1. Encouraging news! Are biologists at area universities involved with the reclamation of the lake? Sounds like it could be a great lab for students and researchers.
